Owner reviews for turbocharger

With a g30-770 turbo I'm making right around 600whp with room to go a bit higher.

Thats absolute BS.. I had local Subaru dealer rebuild engine on my 06 STi using new RA shortblock, turbocharger, clutch / throwout bearing, Group N engine mount, pitch stop mount, oil pump, oil pan, all vacuum / PCV hose, intake/exhaust valves, valve lifters, coolant system, spark plugs, fuel injectors, fuel rail / lines, starter motor, etc etc plus all gaskets, new timing belt and pulley all the stuff that did not need replacing immediately and still cost less than 11k including all parts and labor.

Garrett gt2250s stage 3 from 90k-100k … zero major mechanical issues.

I got a 2867R with two-port and a recirculating valve. I wouldn’t say it is snappy but spool it up to 3k rpm’s and then just roll into it and it’ll take off. When you shift you’re above 3k so just roll back into it. On 93 I have 350 and E40 I have 420 but I like how it drives.

I have a 2860 with junits elbow tuned by JST. It spools to 20psi by 2800rpm, and pulls all the way past 6k. If you have the money, 2860 beats powermax in every way… okay maybe PM spools slightly faster, but the 2860 is making 40-50whp more power AND it extends the powerband to 6k+.

man those EFR turbos were fucking lit.

I had the ECP light issue in late June on my 2018 R with around 21k miles. The dealer diagnosed it as the wastegate, requiring a turbocharger replacement.

Ich fahre einen Hyundai Santa Fe, Erstzulassung Oktober 2023, also quasi ein Neuwagen mit etwa 30.000 km. Am 30.08.2025 geht kurz nach dem Losfahren die Motorkontrollleuchte (MKL) an mit der Meldung „Motormanagementsystem prüfen“. In der Werkstatt wurde festgestellt, dass der Turbolader einen Lagerschaden hat und eventuell auch der Motor etwas abbekommen haben könnte, weil zu wenig Öl im System war. Die Werkstatt meinte, sie müssen den defekten Turbo ausbauen und an Hyundai schicken, damit entschieden wird, ob es ein Garantiefall ist – was mich ehrlich wundert. Bei einem so neuen Fahrzeug sollte das doch eindeutig sein.

I replaced my tubo and it was also cracked 140k miles

Our 2016 Q3's (with 44K miles) check engine light went on and the code was PO299

The P0299 code for a 2016 Audi Q3 indicates a turbocharger underboost condition.
